On With Two Words
It was a gimmicky line but it made a good point. At the Durban Airport
To get something good in life it takes hard work. In the Bhagavad-gita much reference is given
by Krishna to two words used over and over
again. They are yoga and yajna. Both words imply discipline. Yoga, in the
literal sense, refers to linking or re-connecting to the Divine. It means to be obedient, to co-operate and be
a team player-- with the previous teachers, one’s guru, and God. It is a type of surrender where you renounce
your independence.
Yajna, in traditional definition, refers to sacrifice, much
in the same way that yoga is connecting.
Chapter three makes strong statements to this end. “Work for the satisfaction of Vishnu,
otherwise work (activity) binds you to this world.”
It is all a matter of how you channel your Karma. We are all born with a certain psychophysical
structure and when directed properly, towards a disciplined aim, towards the
Absolute, then good results will come.
“Be not attached to the fruits of your labour, but be
attached to the duty, the discipline,” Krishna
also states in chapter three.
